"I feel Walsh has prepared me for my career by making me take a step back and really think about things and organization as the whole, rather than just the pieces and parts. Here, everyone is engaged and wants you to be successful."
–Jon Bishop, MBA student
I didn't have a business bachelor's degree, so whenever we reviewed financials at work I just tried not to look confused. As a leader, I was expected to understand it, but I didn't. After just the preparatory program I was much more comfortable. Now, the financial statements aren't just a bunch of meaningless numbers on a spreadsheet. I understand them, and after a few classes, I can actually perform some analysis. Because of what I have learned, I truly feel like a peer with my colleagues.
